Good morning again to you all in the land of blog
Today sees the next challenge by the Icicles, at the
Winter Wonderland
where the wonderful Sally is hosting the theme of
It Takes Two
so your image must be of 2 people or 2 animals or a combination of
we are sponsored for this challenge by the fabulous
Who are generously offering the winner a £10 voucher
So here is my take on this great theme, but don't forget to hop over to the main challenge blog to see some more wonderful inspiration. Again I am sticking to the Christmas theme to help me on my way for that busy time of year.
So this is a 15 cm square bottom opening card. Now this year I am trying to keep to flatter cards, for ease of packaging and posting, we will have to see how this goes :)
The base colour and contrast is Kraft, and the papers are again some of my old ones, decided needed to start using them. The die cut is a Marianne die, cut twice and overlapped. I added some snowflakes to each corner and a nestie banner/ribbon die with the computer generated sentiment. I have air brushed this for colour.
The image is an LOTV what a lovely couple, they have been coloured in sepia tones to match the papers and card stock, with some ice and lace stickles for added sparkle and a little greenery snipped off my artificial flowers and a red glitter berry.
As always I would like to welcome my new followers and thank my wonderful visitors and followers for their inspirational comments, which allows me to hop over and see their gorgeous work too.
